Idaho Building (Chicago World's Fair)

Idaho Building

The Idaho Building for the 1893 Chicago World's Fair was a rustic-design log construction designed by architect Kirtland Cutter. It was a popular favorite,[1] visited by an estimated 18 million people. The building's design and interior furnishings were a major precursor of the Arts and Crafts movement.[2] The structure stood on the extreme north line of Jackson Park, over a mile and a half from the Forestry Building, which it recalled.
